In my office,
A seat in my chair,
My beard is gray,
I have no Hair.

The outside is gloomy,
No boating today
I’ll checkout the web,
And FishUSA!

My boss made a visit,
I couldn’t minimize,
No work being done,
Oh what a surprise!

They have many things,
For me to go Fishin,
My wife wouldn’t agree,
But I don’t need permission.

I added a rod,
With a slow steady bend,
Some soft crappie plastics,
And then I hit send.

The package arrive,
I opened with speed,
The look on her face,
Is all that I need.

Now me and the Dog,
We sleep in the shed,
No supper for us,
We’re fishing instead.

Did you realize the first prize listed is a Shakespeare. I thought he wrote plays.:biggrin

Oh Danny!!!Attachment 207862That is the best poem posted to date. I'd write one, but I got to chill a little while before I can think.

As the sun rose in the horizen,
The lake showed a pose of silent satisfaction,
As I hopped out of my warm comfortable berth,
The new day had just given birth.
Today was the day, I would take her to the lake.
As I got dressed, she poked her head around the corner. Nervous and anxious all at once, after all this will be her first. We ate breakfast in an exhilarating pace. We grabber our gear and headed to the lake. As we watched our bobbers float, all I could think of was how my daughter was growing up. To her it was fishing , but to me it was fascinating, to watch my little girl eager to learn, all my fishing ways, but to me most of all, was trying to just hold on to my Angel.

Forgot a line.

In the good ol' usa

I'd rather be fishing
most any time
morning or evening
rain or shine

Just show me the tackle
and I'll order it today
then watch me go fishing
thanks to FISHUSA

I'll catch"em and clean"em
and cook them up fast
and once we start eating
they surly won't last

I'd rather be fishing
most any time
morning or evening
rain or shine

I fish in the USA with products from FISHUSA
I'll use their products on any day.
I fish when others say
You cant go fish its time to make hay.

I use your products, they do me good, but I lose so many jigs, when i'm fishing the wood.
I order more from FISHUSA, and they're here real quick, sometimes the next day.
So i'm back out fishing, enjoying my day, you've made it much easier, thanks FISHUSA.
Attachment 208464

For years, the riverbank was where
Your soul felt most at peace
Your heart was most content when there
With the fish and the geese
But then, your spirit came to rest
Where angels chose to roam
And once equipped with ten pound test you made yourself at home.

The sky became your deep blue sea
The clouds became your shore
And there, for all eternity
You sat with friends galore
Each angel was a fisherman
Who had traded his pole
For golden wings and a game plan
At Heaven's Hole.

The tales you told about each catch
Its stature and its girth
Will live in memories unmatched
As days pass here on earth
Until we meet again, one day
Upon God's golden sand
We'll picture you, no other way
Than with a Fish USA pole in hand.

Oh you never know what a day might bring,
From your morning coffee until the last birds sing.
Crappie.com may have a contest,
Where we have to write poems and hope it’s the best.
In between the rise and fall of the sun,
The water is calling for a chance at some fun.
So I hope this poem can help me say
Thanks for the gear Slab and FishUSA!
LOL :biggrin

We ask a simple question
And that is all we wish
Are fishermen all liars
Or do only liars fish

When it comes to crappie
We tell you no lies today
A big thanks to
Slab and FISHUSA

GREAT POEMS,

So far so Good.



We need MORE entries,

like you said you would.



Visit FishUSA,

Just as you should

Limerick style:
There once was a man named Slab
Who started a forum for all guys to gab,
He opened a contest
For fishUSA
In the hopes that we all start a tab

Hope more than one entry is allowed...:biggrin

They swim so fast and try to hide,
While flashing silver side to side.
But Crappie will catch the little shad,
As another morsel WILL be had.
Soon the predators will become the prey,
When fishermen begin their day.
And it becomes a game of wits,
Until the man gives up and quits.
But with bait and tackle from FishUSA
Some of those Crappie won’t get away.
And later after the family says Grace,
They’ll all sit down and stuff their face!

Another one just for fun....now I guess I better get back to work. hahaha.

The secrets of the skill are passed,
From dad to son or little lass.
So they can grow up learning too,
And chase the crappie just like you.
A hook or pole or jig or line,
It’s all at FishUSA to find.
We stock our box with favorite baits,
While hungry crappie lay in wait.
And if we hold our mouth just right,
We’ll all clean fish and eat tonight!

Can't help myself! I'm not a deep poet, but I do get a little kick out of making something rhyme that sort of makes sense. lol

Crappie.com is here to stay,
And thankfully sponsored by FishUSA.

That helps us hook another lip!


Dr. Seuss better watch out! lol

True story.....in poem format. :)

The meeting is over,
oh what a relief,
I finished another one
without too much grief.

The stress is dissipating
as I sit in this chair,
And I think ‘What’s the temp?’
of that clear outside air.

As my mind starts to wander
and focus on fish,
I can’t help myself…
I wish, oh how I wish!

That a night trip was planned
in the upcoming days
And that I had a new pole
from FishUSA.

For my birthday
the family gave a thermocell
And along with the gift cards,
a green LED may do well!

So I may need to plan it
and make that trip happen,
As it could pay off big
if I don’t get caught nappin!

It's a difficult decision with so many great entries. A winner will be announced as soon as we can decide! It'll be some time today. Thank you for your patience.
